Welcome to Curiously Caitlin, where we try to make theology make sense.

I don't know.

That doesn't make any sense.

Curiously, Kate, yeah.

Welcome back to another Curiously, Caitlin. I am joined once again by producer Mike. Mike, how are you?

Caitlin, I'm feeling deja vu today. Yeah. Pretty good, huh? Mike, that's a good one. Yeah, everyone's
